IJT TUB PAPAKAIO, WAIARKKA, AND KAKA. NUT DISTRICTS, If sufficient inducement offers, The fashionably - bred and rery superior Thorough-bred Horse PE R T O B B Eminently suited for getting Huntsri, Handsome Weight-carrying Hacks, and Horses suitable for the Indian Market. PEP.TOBE is a beautiful dapplo brawn Stallion, standing 16 hands high, Bred by 11. Phillips, Esq., Victoria, in ISO!'. Gut by Panic (imported) ; his dam, Hester Grazebrook, by The Premier (imported), out of Miss Napier, by Delapr* (imported) ; Miss Napier's dam, Mrs. Roberts, by "Wanderer (imported).— See Victorian ■Stud Bool;, Vol. 11., p. 47. Panic was imported from England to Tasmania, and put to the stud at 3 yrs. old. He was trained mvl rac-d at 4, and again put to the stud. When ho was G yrs. old, he was purchased .it a high price and imported to Victoria, where he had two more seasons' traiaiag and racing. He proved himself the best English horse ever trained in Australia. He ran remarkably well, and won Bereral races, carrying heavy weights ; he wae both speedy and staying, of a most docile ami cjuiet temper, with a wonderful constitntiea, and legs like iron. Like hi 3 sire, that firstclass English racehorse Alarm, "ha was ne%"er sick, sorry, or lame," and retired frsm the turf without a blemish. At the stud, although from being in an eut-of-the-way ulace, he has not been farored by many first-class mares, he has got more winners out of half-bred ones than any horse ia Victoria, and for general purposes his stoek ia much esteemed. In the breeding of PERTOBB tkore ia a combination of some excellent ifcraina ai blood, such as the Waxy-Whalebe»«, n that famous line through Defeaee. aad which comes to him o» the tides ef beik sire and dam. On his »ire Panic's side there is, as well as his good Defence bleed, that of the game and stout Veniaea, Hm powerful and speedy Melbourne, and, Meat excellent of all, that of Pantaloon. *' The value of the Pantaloon blood is undeniable, having furnished so many proofs, net aleae as to its being speedy and staying, but abe to its 'training on,' and being essentially a ' running strain ;' for although some etken occasionally produce one or two first-elaaß animals, few, if any, can compete wifk Pantaloon as to numbers. A rery grand seemmendation of this strain of blood is, tbat it mixes successfully with, and impreTea, aH others." Thus writes Copperthwaite, and other good turf authorities agree with ham to the same effect. On the side of the dam of Pertobb there is a Jet of food blood coming in through The Pre, finer, whose grandsire, Tomboy, was hjr Jerry, out of the Ardrossan mare (the dam of the mare Beeswing, celebrated not only as a first-class racer, bat also as the maternal ancestress of England's very best family of racehorses at the present time, viz., the Newminatera). The Dalapfi blood is also very good indeed. Delapri'a dam, Fortress, by Defence, was the dap>< ' the Derby winner, Pyrrhus the First.'*' ii'-Wns, the great graud-dam of Pat.. »■£% was by Wanderer, and Wanderer's bleed la i:ood, "he being by Wanderer, by Gokaana, by Mercury, by Eclipse. In Tasmania, ae much is the Wanderer blood thought ef, that they say " a bad one by Wanderer was never known," and if they can trace a pedi. uree to a Wanderer mare, they consider tka* tiuite sufficient. PEUTOBE, by

"Augur," in the Australasian, June 15th, IS7S, says :"I could fill the Australasian with the doings of " Pauic," a*d hia descendants. As a sins ef good, 89U»d, and useful stock he ha 3 never had aa equal ia the Southern hemisphere. Hi» ricb»ry in the Launce3ton Champion Race, and t2»« style m which he carried 10st. into sec«nd [dace in the Melbourne Cup, were performances of merit, and sufficient to satisfy tks most exacting that he was a racehorse mi no mean order. The soundness of his stock baa become a proverb on the Australian Tnfcf, and the ancient Strop who won a race" at Launccoton in February, is a living Few horses have gone through such an ordeal as Melbourne, another son at present pcrforming at Queensland. The greatest of ail is undoubtedly Lvne Hand, Prodigious, and many other good try horses, too numerous to men•z'.ao descendants of the sen c 'erni3 : L 5 ss, payable Ist of January, 1579.
